Kamara remained a solid starting running back in 2024, and given his salary (two-year, $24.5 million extension in October), it would appear the Saints plan on another large workload in 2025. Even if the Saints offense remains below average, Kamara's skill and likely volume should still make him a fantasy asset. That was the case each of the last two years, a span in which Kamara averaged 15.1 carries and 5.3 receptions (6.5 targets) per game, with three-year highs in 2024 in yards from scrimmage (1,493) and touchdowns (eight). New Saints coach Kellen Moore consistently highlighted RBs as a coordinator for the Cowboys (Ezekiel Elliott/Tony Pollard), Chargers (Austin Ekeler) and Eagles (Saquon Barkley), so Moore's arrival should prove beneficial for Kamara. As much as the state of the surrounding Saints offense is a fair concern, the bigger threat to Kamara's fantasy production might be injury risk. Kamara played through a broken hand and cracked ribs beginning in Week 3 of 2024, before missing the final three games with a groin injury. He's never played fewer than 13 games in a season, but he hasn't played more than 15 since his 2017 rookie campaign. His age (30 in July) adds another dash of concern to the durability projection going forward, but Kamara nonetheless remains an annual threat to lead all RBs in receptions.
